About the Program

The Bachelor in Biomedical Systems Engineering degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 2007 with the support of the European Union / Tempus Program. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering Program Criteria.

Developed in cooperation with European and Jordanian institutions, the curriculum meets international standards and market demands. It blends engineering and biomedical sciences to prepare students for careers in healthcare technology and innovation. The program places strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, integrating principles from biology, medicine, and engineering.

The program covers biomedical instrumentation, signal processing, medical electronics, imaging, biomechanics, biomaterials, and bioinformatics. Students complete a two-term graduation project and a four-month full-time practical training (six credit hours) in hospitals, research centers, or industry, gaining valuable hands-on experience.

Graduates are equipped for careers in biomedical engineering, clinical technology, or advanced studies, with strong technical foundations and applied skills.
